Yasunari Kawabata's literature not only combines with the traditions of classical Eastern literature, including Chinese literature, and Japanese literature after the Heian Period, but also had a deep connection with Western literature, including modernism, in the early days of the "New Sensory Movement." The substantial link between the long-standing Eastern traditions and Western modernist literature, along with a broad concern for the world, is a defining characteristic of Kawabata's literary works. The diversity of his literature has only been widely understood by the world in the present time, nearly two decades after he won the Nobel Prize in Literature, as he approaches his centennial birth anniversary. It is also one of the features of 20th-century literature.
May Chinese readers, through the translated publication of the "Yasunari Kawabata Collection," come to understand the diversity of Kawabata's literary creations and the charm of his literature. While learning from the West, he never simply imitated it but rather created a new Eastern literature. May readers appreciate the true value of Yasunari Kawabata's literature.
